CHURN.

SPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 317,019, dated May 5, 1885..

' Application filed July 2, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. ROGERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Terrell, in the county of Kaufman and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Ghurn- Motor, of which the following is a specification, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to churn-motors; and

it has for its object to provide a device of this character which shall be cheap and simple in its construction, durable in its use, and one that may be easily operated.

With these ends in view the invention con- 1 sists in the improved construction and com- 2 is a side elevation showing the dasher-shaft and the manner of connecting the same with the fiy-wheel, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sec tion through the fly-wheel shaft and crankarm of the same.

In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures, A represents the frame, which consists of the end standards, a, provided at their lower ends with foot- The end standards,-a, are connected at their upper ends by means of strips d upon the upper side, and about midway of the length of which are provided brackets or boxes f. In these brack- 3 5 ets or boxes f is journaled or mounted a shaft,

9, carrying at one of its ends, outside 'the frame or sides of the frame, a fly-wheel, B, one or more of the arms of which may beprovided with a screw-threaded opening, h, for

0 the reception of a screw-threaded and headed wrist or crank pin, i. p

0 represents a lever, which is pivoted at the upper corner of the rear end of the frame to a block, 3', secured thereto. This lever is 5 provided with a longitudinal slot, 70, of sufficient length to allow the pin of the flywheel to work from one end to the other of the same, the lever being held in position by the head of the pin. The forward end of this lever extends beyond the front end of the shaft and prevents the crank-arm from turning upon said shaft. 7

To the front end of the frame, at or near the lower end thereof, is hinged a strip, Z, the forward end of which is free, and rests in a recess, m, formed in the supporting-strip. In a slot at about the center of the strip or red Z is pivoted a rod, m, which is connected at its other end to the crank-arm E. At the free end of the strip or rod Z is pivoted in a slot thereof an operating rod or handle, m

The operation is as follows: Upon the treadle Z being operated by the handle a motion is imparted to the rod m, which is connected with the crank-arm, which in turn imparts motion to the shaft 9, which turns the flywheel, which actuates the dasher by means of the connection before described.

' It will be seen that, if desired, the handle it might be omitted and the machine operated by the treadle Z, though the handle is preferably employed. It will also be seen that a churn-motor constructed in accordance with my invention is simple, may be manufactured and supplied at slight cost, and, further, that it is easy to operate.

. In order to point out more clearly the advantages and scope of my invention, I would have it understood that I am aware of Patents No. 294,064, dated February 26, 1884; No. 217,263, dated July 8, 1879; No. 79,035, June 16, 1868, and do not seek to claim anything therein shown' and described.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with a suitable frame having a fiy-wheel mounted in bearings thereof, and a wrist-pin on said fly-wheel, of the lever 0, pivoted to the frame atone end, and

carrying a pivoted dasher at its other end, own I have hereto affixed my signature in said lever having a slot or opening, 7a, to represence of two witnesses. ceive the wrist-pin, a crank-arm, a treadle pivoted to the frame at one end, and carry- WILLIAM JOSEPH ROGERS. ing a handle at its other end, and a rod connecting the treadle and crank-arm, substan- Witnesses:

tially as set forth. A. DREW,

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my A. RIPPETOE.
